ArcadeDB 26.6.1 Release Notes

Overview

ArcadeDB 26.6.1 is a stability, durability and security hardening release with over 280 commits and 66 resolved issues. The headline news is end-to-end TLS/SSL for the HA cluster, a deep wave of durability and crash-recovery hardening across the WAL, page and serialization layers, and a broad security hardening pass (schema authorization, IMPORT DATABASE source validation, injection fixes and a full CodeQL cleanup). On top of that comes a long list of High Availability / Raft, OpenCypher, SQL, vector index and wire-protocol fixes, plus Studio and operational improvements.

Major Highlights

TLS/SSL Across the HA Cluster

The Raft-based HA cluster can now run fully encrypted. Inter-node replication traffic supports SSL/TLS, and the snapshot installer was fixed so a follower can download a leader snapshot over the HTTPS listener instead of crashing with Unsupported or unrecognized SSL message. (#4470)

Durability & Crash-Recovery Hardening

A large batch of fixes closes data-integrity gaps in the storage, WAL and serialization layers so committed transactions survive crashes and power loss, and recovery never silently drops data:

• WAL is now fsynced on commit by default, and data files are fsynced before WAL files are deleted on clean close. (#4330, #4332)
• Crash recovery now aborts on a WAL version gap and preserves the WAL files instead of silently skipping the gap. (#4331, #4320)
• MutablePage.move no longer mis-tracks the modified range on backward shifts, so defrag bytes are no longer omitted from the WAL. (#4319)
• Binary serialization fixes: property count now matches the bytes written, and partial reads are handled via readFully. (#4328, #4329)
• Short-write / short-read returns are now respected in PaginatedComponentFile. (#4321)
• LZ4 compression no longer corrupts data when Binary.position() > 0. (#4317)
• Simple-8b codec validation no longer silently truncates Long.MAX_VALUE / Long.MIN_VALUE. (#4336)
• migratedFileIds is now persisted in schema.json, so compaction no longer silently drops in-flight transactions across restart. (#4333)
• java.lang.NegativeArraySizeException on transaction commit fixed. (#4420)

Security Hardening

• All LocalDocumentType / LocalProperty schema mutators now require the UPDATE_SCHEMA permission (previously only createProperty was gated). (#4423)
• IMPORT DATABASE now validates its source and requires admin privilege, closing SSRF / LFI vectors. (#4422)
• SQL injection fixed in RemoteVertex.newEdge by switching to parameter binding (also fixes breakage on apostrophes). (#4327)
• JavaScript injection in the polyglot engine closed by replacing the "looks-like-JSON" source-concatenation heuristic with Value.execute(). (#4326)
• Full CodeQL cleanup: open Java and JavaScript code-scanning alerts resolved at their true sources (workflow permissions, ReDoS, path-injection). (#4383, #4386, #4388)

Major Fixes

High Availability & Clustering

• TimeSeries data now replicates correctly across an HA cluster, and a compaction/append deadlock that caused a WAL version gap on Raft followers was eliminated. (#4414, #4458)
• Concurrent single-row time-series INSERTs no longer silently lose samples (sealed-slot lost update). (#4453)
• Bolt writes to a follower no longer fail with "no authenticated user in the current security context"; the authenticated user is now bound on DatabaseContext in the Bolt executor. (#4456)
• PeerAddressAllowlistFilter no longer rejects legitimate peers during a Kubernetes DNS-resolution race (incomplete allowlist on startup/restart). (#4471)
• Stale-follower recovery is fixed when a snapshot download fails on a quiet cluster.
• New configurable paths: arcadedb.ha.raftStorageDirectory for the Raft storage directory (#4446), configurable server log directory for read-only root filesystems (#4451), and arcadedb.ha.clusterTokenPath to read the cluster shared secret from a file (#4431).
• RemoteDatabase no longer reuses a session id across servers on HA failover during an open transaction; a TransactionException is now raised on server switch. (#4373)
• RemoteHttpComponent no longer mutates leaderServer / currentServer non-atomically during retries. (#4372)
• New STICKY strategy pins HTTP transactions to a concrete cluster member. (#4273)
• getReplicaAddresses now excludes the local peer instead of the leader. (#4274)
• /api/v1/server?mode=cluster returns the ha section again after the Raft migration. (#4261)
• New "Force Resync" button in Studio to recover a diverged follower from the leader.
• HA bootstrap-fingerprint replay race fixed, and HA node aliases corrected. (#4259)
• Massive-insertion cluster configuration issues resolved, plus assorted HA log improvements.

Concurrency & Async

• FileManager no longer mutates its ArrayList<ComponentFile> from multiple threads without synchronization (fixes CME / AIOOBE). (#4371)
• LockManager.tryLock now re-attempts putIfAbsent after a wait timeout and tracks the remaining timeout per await. (#4367)
• DatabaseAsyncTransaction now rolls back before retrying after a ConcurrentModificationException, invokes the per-task onErrorCallback, and no longer swallows final-retry failures or contaminates the shared transaction. (#4368, #4369, #4370)
• PageManager.putPageInReadCache no longer leaks RAM accounting when replacing an existing CachedPage. (#4390)

OpenCypher

• CREATE INDEX now implicitly creates the referenced property (Neo4j-style lazy schema). (#4354)
• nodes(), relationships() and length() on variable-length path patterns (e.g. [*1..3]) are now implemented. (#4353)
• Records written via SQL are now visible to subsequent Cypher queries (and vice versa) within the same connection/transaction. (#4355)
• EXPLAIN no longer fails with an idempotency error on a multi-statement query containing CREATE. (#4366)
• Label disjunction (n:A|B) no longer returns 0 rows. (#4221)
• allShortestPaths() now returns all co-shortest paths instead of just one.
• MERGE now uses a bound anchor as the traversal start instead of a full edge-type scan (performance), and no longer crashes on a single-quote property value with UNWIND or rebinds the variable from an OPTIONAL MATCH null endpoint. (#4213, #4210)
• DATETIME property comparison with datetime() no longer returns 0 rows. (#4231)
• Redundant AND true / OR false branches are now simplified in WHERE clauses. (#4405)
• MATCH ... WHERE ID(n) IN $ids now accepts a long[] parameter array.
• Query results are now consistent between parameterized and hard-coded values.

SQL

• IN :param with a collection parameter now returns rows when an index is used. (#4468)
• MOVE VERTEX no longer generates an internal error. (#4461, #4347)
• expand() projection now honors its AS alias instead of always being named value. (#4389)
• IN (SELECT …) no longer always returns empty (InCondition now unwraps single-property results). (#4337)
• MERGE on a UNIQUE-indexed property no longer throws DuplicatedKeyException when the same key appears twice in a batch (Neo4j matches the second occurrence). (#4351)
• node.* and rel.* functions no longer silently return null/0 from SQL. (#4216)
• TimeSeries timestamps are now returned in queries. (#4418)
• New cypherRID(<cypher-rid>) SQL function and asCypherRID() method for interoperating with Cypher numeric ids.
• ResultInternal.getProperty no longer re-surfaces removed properties via element fall-through. (#4398)
• EdgeLinkedList.removeVertex / removeEdge now iterate all segments to remove every matching entry. (#4395)
• MultiIterator.countEntries no longer discards the count for non-resettable iterables. (#4396)
• MATCHES now keys its regex Pattern cache by the regex string rather than hashCode() (collision no longer returns the wrong pattern). (#4397)
• Case conversions across the function library now use Locale.ROOT. (#4393)
• RangeFunction and the math functions are now guarded against long-range overflow / infinite loops. (#4391, #4392)
• CREATE INDEX ON ... (...) without an index type now raises a clear parsing error instead of an NPE.
• Inserting edges between existing nodes with mandatory properties now works. (#4413)
• Multiple-inheritance handling fixed, and point() over a latitude property surfaced as a string no longer throws a ClassCastException.
• SEARCH_INDEX() negative Lucene clauses now return correct results. (#4220)

Vector & Index

• TRUNCATE TYPE no longer resets an LSM_VECTOR index dimension to 0, nor leaves UNIQUE indexes in an inconsistent state requiring DROP TYPE. (#4359, #4352)
• LSMVectorIndex now converts JVector's EUCLIDEAN return to L2² distance in all search paths, so K-NN no longer returns the worst matches first. (#4334)
• LSMVectorIndexCompactor now handles the old-format tombstone rewind correctly. (#4335)
• NPE in discoverAndLoadCompactedSubIndex that prevented loading compacted vector sub-indexes at startup fixed.
• LSM_VECTOR inactivity rebuild timer is now re-armed after a skip. (#4272)
• REBUILD INDEX now works for BY ITEM indexes. (#4448)
• vector.fuse() is now recognised as a SQL function (no more "Unknown method name: fuse").

Wire Protocols

• Bolt: parameterized Cypher MATCH queries via the JavaScript neo4j-driver now work (#4452); integer property values are no longer coerced to strings after CREATE INDEX, and index-backed lookups return rows.
• PostgreSQL: scalar columns are now advertised with native OIDs. (#4202)
• gRPC: correct exceptions are now thrown (NOT_FOUND for RecordNotFoundException on lookupByRid) (#4364); LocalDateTime / LocalDate and ISO-string fallback handled i...

26.5.1

ArcadeDB 26.5.1 Release Notes

Overview

ArcadeDB 26.5.1 is a major release with over 270 commits and 128 resolved issues. The headline news is the new sparse vector index with server-side hybrid retrieval and INT8 quantization end-to-end, a huge wave of OpenCypher correctness fixes, query partitioning, a new EXTERNAL property storage layout for heavy values, plus a long list of HA, wire-protocol, and Studio improvements.

Major Highlights

Sparse Vector Index + Hybrid Retrieval

A brand-new LSM_SPARSE_VECTOR index brings sparse-embedding retrieval (BM25/SPLADE-style) directly into the engine, with server-side fusion of dense and sparse results and diversified top-K. (#4065, #4066, #4067, #4068, #4070, #4078, #4119, #4130)

• New index type LSM_SPARSE_VECTOR for sparse-embedding retrieval.
• vector.fuse(...) server-side hybrid fusion with RRF, DBSF and LINEAR strategies.
• vector.neighbors(...) gains groupBy / groupSize options for diversified retrieval, including dotted nested-field grouping (#4072) and traversal-integrated grouping (#4071).
• WAND / BlockMax-WAND dynamic pruning to scale sparse retrieval to 100M+ documents.
• Sparse-vector partitioning so a single index can be sharded by tenant / domain.
• Reranker SQL functions for two-stage retrieval pipelines.
• Bolt and HTTP wire support for the new sparse vector type, including $bytes / $int8 markers for INT8 query vectors.

INT8 Quantization for Dense Vectors

End-to-end INT8 support across the dense vector pipeline: ingest, storage and query path now share the same 8-bit representation, dramatically reducing disk and RSS without going through the FP32 path. (#3143, #4132, #4133, #4135, #4136)

EXTERNAL Property Storage

New paired-bucket layout for heavy property values (vectors, large strings, JSON). Hot row data stays compact in the main bucket while bulky payloads live in a sibling external bucket, sharply reducing scan cost on wide records. (#4027, #4028)

Query Partitioning

Query-level partitioning lands together with a partition-aware planner that prunes pruned partitions from SQL and Cypher plans, plus integrity guardrails for partitioned types. (#4087, #4088)

HA: Offline Cluster Bootstrap

You can now bootstrap a fresh HA cluster from a pre-seeded database (snapshot-and-restore), avoiding a full re-replication of large datasets when expanding or rebuilding a cluster. Includes regression integration tests for the cluster-formation edge cases. (#4147, #4205)

Production-Ready Helm Chart

The Helm chart has been reworked to align with the Raft-based HA subsystem introduced in 26.4.2 and is now suitable for production rollouts. (#4035)

Cypher: SHOW INDEXES / SHOW CONSTRAINTS

Standard Cypher administrative commands SHOW INDEXES and SHOW CONSTRAINTS are now supported. (#3972)

SQL: FIND REFERENCES

Restores the OrientDB-compatible FIND REFERENCES command for locating all records pointing to a given RID. (#4146)

C# End-to-End Tests

A new e2e suite exercises ArcadeDB over the Postgres wire via Npgsql and Testcontainers, validating the C# client path on every build. (#4036, #4038)

HA Operational Improvements

• Optional human-readable peer names in HA_SERVER_LIST for friendlier cluster topology. (#3974)
• Studio gains peer add/remove controls in the HA cluster panel. (#4145)

Studio Improvements

• Full-screen mode for graph view. (#4032)
• Clear query button / textbox. (#4121)
• Session reset on token expire instead of silent failure. (#4082)
• Error messages now persist instead of disappearing after a few seconds. (#4124)
• Query history no longer auto-submits on selection. (#4022)
• Inherited indexes are now visible. (#4140)

26.4.2

ArcadeDB 26.4.2 Release Notes

Overview

ArcadeDB 26.4.2 is a major release with over 340 commits and 100+ resolved issues. The headline is a brand-new Raft-based High Availability stack built on Apache Ratis, alongside a deep wave of OpenCypher correctness and performance work, expanded wire-protocol security (BOLT + TLS), a new end-to-end Query Profiler, and a long list of SQL, HA, storage, and Studio improvements.

Highlights

Raft-based High Availability using Apache Ratis

ArcadeDB now ships a new HA mode backed by Apache Ratis, bringing a battle-tested Raft consensus implementation to the server. Leader election, log replication, and membership changes are all delegated to Ratis, giving stronger correctness guarantees for replicated writes and simpler operational semantics for clusters running on Kubernetes and bare metal #3730.

End-to-end Query Profiler

The query profiler has been promoted to a first-class feature across every query entrypoint (HTTP, Studio, embedded, drivers). In addition to planner and executor timings, it now also accounts for record deserialization and result serialization, giving a complete picture of where the time goes. Studio surfaces the new serialization cost directly in the results panel #3894.

OpenCypher: major correctness and optimization round

Dozens of OpenCypher issues have been closed in this release. Highlights:

• Filter pushdown for list predicates (any / all / none / single) in WHERE clauses, which dramatically reduces scanned rows on complex predicates - PR #3891, #3888
• Index usage for MATCH WHERE ID(n) = <expr> when the expression is dynamic (was falling back to full scan) - PR #3865
• Aggregation with CASE no longer returns multiple rows from an implicit GROUP BY - #3858
• CREATE CONSTRAINT ... IS TYPED is now supported - #3800
• CREATE INDEX statement is now supported - #3763
• Path Mode (WALK, TRAIL, ACYCLIC) support - #3710
• WITH * + extra AS alias no longer drops the extra items - #3761
• Cypher support removed from the Gremlin module in favor of the native engine - #3811
• Many subquery fixes:
  • EXISTS { MATCH ... } when relationship type embeds a Cypher keyword after underscore - #3952
  • CALL subquery with UNWIND no longer multiplies outer rows - #3944
  • CALL subquery reusing an outer variable name no longer drops rows - #3959
  • CALL + UNION ALL keeps all branches - #3958
  • COLLECT { ... } returns the list instead of null - #3957
  • COUNT { ... } pattern subqueries return the count, not the bound node - #3955, #3956
  • Inline relationship WHERE predicate is now applied - #3951
  • Existential pattern predicate in WHERE correctly filters by target node - #3938
  • Standalone ORDER BY ... LIMIT ... before MATCH preserves the selected row - #3950
• Expression and null handling fixes:
  • tail(null) returns null (not []) - #3920
  • CASE null WHEN null returns not_matched - #3922
  • List / string concatenation || with null returns null - #3921, #3926, #3927, #3928
  • Dynamic label matching with $() - #3923
  • Quantified path pattern ->+ matches 1+ relationships - #3924
  • Variable-length pattern *2..2 no longer includes distance-1 nodes - #3931
  • RETURN ALL raises a syntax error as expected - #3925
  • Fixes from the TCK run: 10 OpenCypher TCK failures from optimizer clause ordering resolved
  • Parameterized queries match correctly in property maps when an edge is present - #3765
  • Label expression predicate with null node returns null - #3935
  • Mandatory MATCH over existing relationships consistent with OPTIONAL MATCH and SQL - #3711
  • Cypher self-join on the same edge type - #3758
  • Stack Overflow workload result divergence from Neo4j - #3759
  • Concatenation of constant string to list with + operator - #3771
  • Subquery with UNION only returning first branch - #3772
  • Types automatically created when creating a constraint - #3760

BOLT + TLS

The Neo4j Bolt wire protocol now supports TLS, and the plugin no longer binds to a random ephemeral port when a port is configured.

• TLS support: #3799
• Port binding fix: #3809
• Parameterized query fix when forwarded through HA - PR #3961

SQL function options map and new function surface

All complex SQL functions now accept a trailing options map as an alternative to long lists of positional optional arguments. This is adopted across:

• Full-text search: #3880 (also adds fulltext.* namespace aliases)
• Graph algorithms: shortestPath, dijkstra, bellmanFord, astar - #3881
• Time-series: movingAvg, timeBucket, interpolate, promql - #3882
• Vector scoring: vectorRRFScore, multiVectorScore, vectorHybridScore - #3883
• Geo / date: geo.buffer, date functions - #3884
• General SQL function support - #3879
• vectorNeighbors accepts a map of optional arguments
• allSimplePaths now supports an exclusion list of edge types (commit 8bd74916d)

SQL: batch UPDATE / DELETE / TRUNCATE

Bulk mutation workflows are significantly faster thanks to true batch execution for UPDATE, DELETE, and TRUNCATE:

• BATCH support in SQL UPDATE and DELETE - #3806
• Batch delete path in SQL TRUNCATE

Case-insensitive indexes (COLLATE)

SQL indexes can now be declared case-insensitive via COLLATE, enabling indexed lookups on text fields without case normalization at query time. #3726

Production mode safety

When the server is started in SERVER_MODE = production:

• fsync is automatically set to true to protect durability on crash - #3808
• A new startup security checklist surfaces misconfigurations before the server accepts traffic

HTTP: restore database + Studio integration

A new HTTP command allows restoring a database directly over the REST API, with Studio UI support and a progress bar for long-running imports and restores. #3764

The legacy BACKUP DATABASE command now also gives a clear error when handed an http(s):// URL. #3716

RemoteGraphBatch client API

A client-side RemoteGraphBatch batching API with auto-flush targets the server-side /batch endpoint, making high-volume ingestion from remote drivers much easier. #3817

Performance

• Custom collections and maps in hot paths reduce RAM usage and improve iteration throughput - #3965
• TimeSeries: batch writes per shard to reduce transaction overhead - #3862
• Neo4j importer uses the new BatchGraph API, drops more than 80% of RAM with numeric Neo4j ids - #3770
• **Vector...

26.3.2

ArcadeDB 26.3.2 Release Notes

We're excited to announce ArcadeDB 26.3.2, a performance-focused release with 100+ commits and 21 closed issues that introduces the Graph Analytical View (GAV) for OLAP-grade graph analytics, a high-performance bulk edge importer, HTTP batch endpoint, gRPC batch graph loading, GraphQL introspection, MCP stdio transport, and numerous bug fixes and performance improvements across the SQL, OpenCypher, and Gremlin engines.

Major New Features

Graph Analytical View (GAV) — CSR-based OLAP Acceleration

Introduced the Graph Analytical View (#3617, #3618), a CSR (Compressed Sparse Row) based OLAP acceleration layer that dramatically speeds up graph analytics. GAV is automatically used by both the SQL and OpenCypher query planners when beneficial, enabling orders-of-magnitude faster execution of graph algorithms, traversals, and pattern matching on large datasets. Key optimizations include:

• Build-probe hash join for multi-pattern Cypher queries sharing endpoint variables
• Count push-down to graph algorithms, avoiding materialization of millions of records
• Sorted neighbor lists enabling merge-join for triangle counting and similar algorithms
• Anti-join with binary search for target nodes in anchor's sorted neighbor list
• Automatic async rebuild on graph mutations

High-Performance Bulk Edge Creation

New GraphBatchImporter (#3621) for ultra-fast bulk edge creation with parallel writes for both outgoing and incoming edges, parallel sorting, and optimized edge insertion. Includes a new database.batch() API for super-fast batch operations.

HTTP Batch Endpoint

Added a new /batch HTTP endpoint (#3675) for executing multiple operations in a single HTTP request, reducing round-trip overhead for bulk operations.

gRPC GraphBatchLoad RPC

New GraphBatchLoad client-streaming RPC (#3678, #3680) in the gRPC module for high-throughput bulk graph loading via streaming.

GraphQL Introspection

GraphQL introspection is now available (#3671), enabling tools and IDEs to discover the schema and available queries/mutations automatically.

MCP Stdio Transport

Added MCP stdio transport (#3685) alongside the existing SSE transport, enabling direct integration with AI assistants and tools that use the stdio protocol. Also added profiler and server settings to MCP server tools (#3663) and fixed MCP authentication with API tokens (#3620).

Auto-tune maxPageRAM

ArcadeDB now auto-detects container memory limits at startup (#3580) and adjusts maxPageRAM accordingly, improving out-of-the-box performance in Docker and Kubernetes environments.

25.10.1

We're excited to announce the release of ArcadeDB 25.10.1!

This version introduces a major new feature: official Python Bindings for embedded use. It also delivers significant query and indexing enhancements, particularly for LIST data types, along with a solid round of bug fixes to improve stability, SQL/Cypher compatibility, and core performance.

🚀 New Features

• Official Python Bindings: You can now run ArcadeDB in an embedded mode directly within your Python applications! This opens up new possibilities for high-performance, in-process graph and document data management for Python developers. Thanks @tae898!
  • (Implements [#2662](https://www.google.com/search?q=https://github.com/ArcadeData/arcadedb/issues/2662) via [#2737](#2737), [#2696](#2696))
• LIST Indexing by ITEM: Implements indexing for LIST data types by ITEM. This drastically improves query performance and capabilities when filtering or looking up records based on the contents of a list.
  • (Implements [#1593](#1593) via [#2620](#2620), [#2720](#2720))
